Meditation Series: Healing Trauma Through Natural Elements – Part 3 – Water

✨ NEW MEDITATION SERIES ON INSIGHT TIMER ✨⁠

⁠This is part 3 of the Healing Trauma Through Natural Elements series. This guided 4-part series is centered around healing trauma in a safe & healthy way as we channel earth’s natural elements. Today’s healing element is water, the protective womb stage of healing. Today you’ll mend & rebuild. You’ll go fully inside of yourself to provide love & protection, to heal & move forward with your life.⁠

⁠I hope these meditations have been helpful for you so far. I know from personal experience that trauma healing can be very triggering. I would suggest moving at your own pace through this series. You may even want to work through a single element multiple times before moving on to the next one. For example, if Air feels incredibly healing for you and you feel it’s helping you safely move through blocked feelings, focus on Air for a while before moving on to Fire. You can repeat these meditations as many times as you’d like. Think about it like watching a movie, every time you watch the same movie you see and pick up on new things you didn’t notice before, meditation is like that too. New feelings and emotions will come up every time you meditate. Allow these feelings and emotions to come up and flow freely. This is your body’s way of releasing trauma and navigating painful feelings and emotions that have been suppressed.  ⁠

⁠This meditation will utilize visualization & sound healing. ⁠

⁠If you have not completed parts 1 & 2, where we focused on Air & Fire as healing elements, I would highly suggest starting there first as these meditations connect to one another in order.  ⁠

⁠I hope you’re enjoying this series. The 4th & final part of this series will be released later this week 🤗

Listen to the meditation here. ⁠

⁠You can come back to these meditations for daily support on your healing journey.⁠ I can’t wait to meditate with you!⁠

Meditation Series: Healing Trauma Through Natural Elements – Part 2 – Fire

✨ NEW MEDITATION SERIES ON INSIGHT TIMER ✨⁠

This is part 2 of the Healing Trauma Through Natural Elements series. This guided 4-part series is centered around healing trauma in a safe & healthy way as we channel earth’s natural elements. Today’s healing element is fire, where we’ll be free to feel anger & disappointment about our experience, as we focus on healing & clearing space for growth & transformation.⁠

⁠I know trauma healing can be very triggering, but as a trauma survivor myself I know the healing process is integral to moving forward with your life in a healthy way. Shoving it down, bottling it up, and pretending it’s not there will only make matters worse. I know, because I tried that first & it didn’t work. My best advice for you is to use these meditations as a safe space to allow feelings and emotions to come up without judgment or trying to change them. Don’t force them down, let them flow freely. This is your body’s way of releasing trauma, it’s detoxing.  ⁠

⁠This meditation will utilize visualization & sound healing. ⁠

⁠If you have not completed part 1, where we focused on Air as a healing element, I would highly suggest starting there first as these meditations connect to one another in order.  ⁠

⁠I hope you’re enjoying this series. Part 3 will be released early next week 🤗 ⁠

Meditate With Me On Insight Timer

I’m officially a teacher on Insight Timer 🤗 I’m honored & excited to create meditations for you. Follow this Insight Timer link to start meditating with me now ❤️⁠

⁠This is something I’ve wanted to do for a long time. So why, you might be asking, did I wait so long to do it? I waited so long to say yes because I’m a hypocrite 😂⁠

⁠I waited because fear was controlling my decision to move forward & I felt vulnerable. I waited because, “it had to be perfect,” before I put it out into the world. I’m sure you can relate to these feelings, but c’mon 🙄 this is what I do for a living!⁠

⁠So one day I decided to put all of my energy into “walking-the-talk.” I took my own advice & I started working hard on figuring out why this was so challenging for me. ⁠

⁠I’m so glad I did because I learned a lot about myself & became a better coach because of the self-exploration I committed to. It’s easy to give advice, harder to take it, but I knew if I was going to continue to coach I needed to work hard on myself first & that’s exactly what I did.⁠

⁠Self-help & self-exploration is hard! It’s a full-time job that you do in the background while you work a full-time job & juggle being a parent, friend, relative & spouse. It’s work that never stops. If you’re doing it right it’s work you’ll do until the day you die, because we’re growing & shifting & changing all the time. Life will unexpectedly throw things at you & then you’ll change again, which will involve more self-exploration. ⁠

⁠What I learned while processing my fear, vulnerability & desire for perfection was that we are all perfectly flawed & that’s okay. What it does mean though is that we must pay attention to the messages our physical & mental body are sending us because they’re smart, they’re on our team & they want us to succeed. What it means is when this information comes in we need to stop long enough to process it & then come up with actionable solutions to work through them & then do this on repeat for the rest of your life 😂 ⁠

⁠That’s life! The only thing that’s guaranteed is that nothing is guaranteed & change is inevitable. How you react is the ultimate lesson in mindset coaching ✨

Meditation Series: Healing Trauma Through Natural Elements – Part 1 – Air

✨NEW MEDITATION SERIES✨⁠

⁠I’m so excited to finally put this series out into the world. I had to practice what I preach and overcome my fear to make this dream a reality. You can now find my meditations on Insight Timer 🤗 This has been 5 years in the making & I’m over the moon 🌙 ⁠

⁠Trauma healing is the #1 requested meditation from my clients & followers. I put a lot of love and personal experience into this series and I hope you love it ❤️⁠

⁠Welcome to the Healing Trauma Through Natural Elements series. This is a 4-part guided meditation series that’s centered around healing trauma in a safe & healthy way. Each meditation in this series focuses on healing trauma by channeling earth’s natural elements. ⁠

⁠In Part 1 of this series, we’ll be focusing on Air as a healing element. Air healing is all about silently processing your experience. It’s a moment of suspension, where you’re just trying to make sense of it all. This stage of healing is about nurturing & protecting yourself. It’s about observing your feelings freely without judgment or expectations. I call this the “floating in the air” stage of healing, hence the use of the natural element, air.

⁠This meditation utilizes visualization & sound healing.⁠

⁠I hope you enjoy this series. These meditations are meant to be practiced in order. Come back to them for daily support on your healing journey.⁠ I can’t wait to meditate with you!

2020 Stress Relief

2020 has tested me in ways I’ve never been tested before! How about you?⁠⠀

⁠Sometimes it can be hard to admit, as a wellness coach, that I too struggle with my thoughts & feelings. I’ve been challenged this year, I’m thankful for the challenge but’s it’s been a challenge nonetheless. ⁠⠀

⁠There isn’t enough space in this caption to tell you about all the things that have happened this year that ultimately changed who I am as a person. My guess is you’ve been through something similar, we all have. We’ve all been through so much, everyone, all over the world. Change is definitely coming but we still have a lot of work left to do. ⁠⠀

⁠That being said, I’d like to share 2 things that have helped me find relief from stress, anxiety & uncertainty the most this year. ⁠⠀

⁠✨ Be quiet, silent & alone as often as you need to in order to make sense of the craziness around you. There’s so much pressure to share all of our moments EVERYWHERE; Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, friends, family, etc., the list is never-ending. Kindly say no when you need time to yourself & do it without judgment of yourself or expectations from the world around you. I grow the most when I get quiet & then I come back to my world & the people in it a much better version of myself. ⁠⠀

⁠✨ Do the most simple thing you could ever possibly do, because you’re doing it right now… BREATHE, but do it with intention & concentration. The easiest thing you can do when you’re being tested like you’ve never been tested before is to come back to your breath. It almost seems too simple, right? Well, that’s because it is, you’re breathing right now, it’s a healing tool that’s accessible to you 24/7 & 365 days a year.⁠⠀

⁠Try it right now…⁠⠀

⁠😌 Take a great big inhale through your nose as you count to 4 – 1, 2, 3, 4⁠⠀

😙 Now let it all go as you exhale through the mouth, counting to 4 – 1, 2, 3, 4⁠⠀

😌 Inhale through your nose – 1, 2, 3, 4⁠⠀

😙 Exhale through the mouth – 1, 2, 3, 4⁠⠀

⁠Do this as many times as you need to. Do this until you feel your heartbeat slow down. Do this until you feel your body relax. Do this until you feel calm & collected & come back to it anytime you need to ❤️⁠⠀

My Hope For You

It’s Friday & life’s been a real doozy, for almost everyone I know, so I don’t want to talk about anything heavy today. I don’t want to add to the noise. It’s already too loud, too sad, too stressful, too cluttered. I don’t want to give advice, just for this one day.  ⁠

⁠Just for today, all I have to say is I hope you have a great day. I hope you have a great weekend. I hope whatever your carrying isn’t too heavy. I hope you find some release, even if it’s only from one thing that’s been grinding you down. I hope someone or something makes you smile and brightens up your day. I hope you catch a break. I hope something wonderful happens to you. I hope you get good news. I hope you find some healing from something that’s been bringing you pain. I hope you spend time doing something you love with someone you love and I hope that, even if it’s just for a moment, you’re able to let everything else go.⁠

⁠I hope you’re well, and I care about you, even if I don’t know you – Sending love ❤️⁠

⁠Happy Friday!
